Recognising mental health problems associated with pelvic mesh
It is important to recognise that mental health problems can arise and can be significant when people have suffered from problems with their pelvic mesh. Given that the potential complications of vaginal mesh gone wrong could completely change a person’s life forever, it is obvious that there will also be a significant mental impact on the victim as well. With some women left unable to walk or work ever again, and with their relationships affected due to being unable to be intimate as a result of pain and problems, there is a lot to consider when it comes to the mental strain that can take place.
This is an important factor that we consider in respect of pursuing a claim for vaginal mesh compensation for those who instruct us for a legal case. Given how significant mental health problems can be in these situations, the law recognises that compensation damages amounts can factor in these kinds of issues which we will go into more detail below.
How we factor such matters into compensation claims
We can account for mental health problems in respect of pursuing your pelvic mesh compensation claim as part of any damages award that can be issued. Generally speaking, when we settle a claim, we will normally use the official JC Guidelines to help us to value the case. Some of these guidelines specifically outline how the mental health impact is factored into a particular damages category. However, even where that is not the case, there is also a specific section in relation to mental health problems and how we can apportion damages awards to people in such situations.
If, for example, a patient has suffered some form of PTSD as a result of what they have had to go through, or if they are left with anxiety or depression, a damages award could account for this. We appreciate that there is only so much we can do as we cannot turn back the clock and undo the damage that has been done. A compensation claim could account for any significant impact on a person’s mental health.
